Broad beans (recipes)


Broad beans are also called fava beans, particularly in the US.Fresh broad beans only have a short natural season during the summer and are often sold frozen or canned. They' re sweet and delicious with a smooth creamy texture. Fresh beans are more popular than the dried variety, which tend to be quite floury. Young thin beans are eaten pods and all, but larger, older broad beans need to have the tough pods removed.After boiling or steaming them (for about five minutes), peel away the thin, pale sheath covering the bean. Dried broad beans don' t hold their shape very well, so they' re often used to make spreads or purées. They' re also good for flavouring meat stews or lamb dishes. Egyptian ful medames is a dish of cooked broad beans (a dried variety called ' ful' ) flavoured with garlic and lemon.Broad bean, lemon and sage dipBroad bean pesto
